I was just wondering if it was possible to hook up my 2 12" rockfords in a sealed box to my aiwa mini system in my room? I hear of it being done but how? If a dumb question please dont yell at me! (its for testing purposes) ---thanx

i'm not sure, but whatever you do, DO NOT hook them upto your normal speaker out. otherwise the subs go boom

Please...please don't do that. First: the power levels of that Awia are not even close to the sub's rms levels. Two: who knows what ohm level the Aiwa is pushing and Three: the outputs for the Aiwa are sending full range sound to the subs...which are only made for full range speakers, woofers....definately not for subs. As the previous guy said....your subs will be trash in time.

HAHAHA... my friend did that two years ago in his dorm room... I dont know how he hooked them up (he had two rockford subs as well) and it sounded nasty !!!

But definitely dont hook them up directly to the speaker outs... that would cause mass distortion and either blow the amp in the aiwa or screw up the subs !
